Cruci'fixin's

I just read an article on CNN.com regarding "uproar" over the supposed upcoming Will and Grace episode that Britney Spears is to guest star. Previous news statements have said that she would portray a conservative Christian and would co-host Jack's talk show due to his network being bought out by a Christian network. She was also supposedly going to be a host of a food show called "Cruci'fixin's". NBC now states that in fact the episode hasn't been written and that "erroneous" info was included in the press releases.

What I have to chuckle about is that WE as Christians have TOTALLY asked for this. Having lived in Nashville, TN in the heart of the Christian "ghetto" mentality, I think we deserve to be portrayed that way. Come on, when was that last time you walked into a Lifeway or some such "christian bookstore" and didn't see some goofy product that we are such suckers to buy. I.e. "Testa-Mints". Its enough to make you spew. The fact that society at large has picked up on the fact that we create dumb products like that shouldn't be surprising.

If you want to change how society portrays the faith, than stop consuming products that SAY you are follower of Christ and start SHOWING you are a follower of Christ by actually doing what HE said to do. Not what some "christian" organization says for you to do or think. Make it real.
